Still here!!!! Not much to report, meet some friends to visit an exhibition on death at the weekend so am now fully versed in their wishes for methods of despatch and post death arrangements!!! Morbid I know but discussions we all should have with our loved ones. (Green burial preferred for me, and none of this dying in a hospital thing please)
Anyway, I've been running!!! Or at least attempting c25k again. That's me in the gym more in the last week than in the last year!!

girlinahat my husband and I are being cremated. We have made all final arrangements as we have no children. My Best friend will carry out our wishes so we have paid for everything. We were honored she agreed too do this for us..
Yesterday husband was off so we did get a small walk in after doing more paperwork in trying too get his up=coming retirement finalized. We only got in 1.5 Walking Miles. Today I got in two separate walks so that did give me 4.5 walking miles....

[/quote]
In 2009, I developed DVT which killed my fitness level, and I really struggled to do what I had been doing (that's when I started gradually putting on a bit of weight too).
In 2010, an acquaintance of ours offered to let Rowan and me try his and his wife's tandem for a few months to see if it might help. I was very sceptical because I'm an independent cyclist who has been riding for decades and I wasn't sure how I would go riding with someone. But it went OK and we covered quite some distance with it ... we liked it enough that we decided to buy our own in early 2011.
We rode it a lot over the next year ... my fitness level improved and I lost a bit of weight ... and then it went into storage as we went through a couple years of travel and moving. We got it out of storage about a year ago, but haven't ridden it much since. We currently live in a very hilly area, and I have a lot of trouble on hills at the best of times, but especially on a tandem. So if we go up north where it is flatter, we take it with us.
Unfortunately, by the time we got it out of storage a year ago, I had put on about 12 kg since the last time we rode it, and I wasn't comfortable. My husband had gained weight too, and he didn't seem particularly comfortable either ... he also seemed to be struggling with the handling a little bit which made me nervous. I just didn't enjoy the ride or two we did.
But this past weekend we decided to give it a go again, and it went quite well. I've lost 24 kg and he's lost about 20 kg, and it seemed to make a difference. He said that the bicycle was so much easier to handle, and I could sense that ... we didn't seem nearly as wobbly.
I still need to sort out some fit issues ... when I was my heaviest, I raised the handlebars on most of my bicycles, including the tandem, because I couldn't breathe leaning forward. Now I'm way too upright, and I've got a lot less padding, and it is causing sciatic nerve pain and back pain.
If you and your wife are thinking about getting a tandem, I'd recommend seeing if you can try one first. Sometimes you can rent them. Pick a nice flat, quiet route and give it a go! Just remember that if you're in front, you need to tell her what's going on. Lots of communication!!

nice going @SteveCro - do you have a revised year end target in mind?
re: the tandem - have you ever tried one? On a mad weekend in Bruges a few years ago (you've seen the film In Bruges? It was like that, without the blood) we hired a tandem and rode around the city. I couldn't get on with it AT ALL. It massively changes your centre of gravity, making the person at front struggle to balance the thing just so the person behind can get on. Plus I didn't like being at the back because it felt odd not having any responsive steering.
certainly give it a go if you can before purchasing!!0 -

Hi,
welcome to the site.Diets are the important part of weight management and body weights are the main key factor for inviting a diease.To know more about the relation between diets and body weights you should visit following link.
nutrition information web site0 -
@ girlinahat- thanks! found out a guy at work has one, said come on over and take it a ride. It's a nice one Cannondale road bike very light weight.
just in my mind- would like to get to 1500. cold weather and short nights effect my riding now. Getting to 30's *f at night and mid 50's *F daytime. dark at 6 pm.
Didn't get started to mid May riding this year with losing our daughter in April. So lost at least a month or month and a half riding. I figure if I take that into account and if I get to 1500 I would be in my target range of 2000 tor the year.
My bike in my happy place to get away and let my mind rest and my body gets it's workout. lol0 -

Yes ... take advantage of that offer!
As for getting on the tandem, there are two ways to do it. Most people I talk to use the first method, but we just could not do that, so we use the second method ...
1) The captain (person in the front, usually a larger person), straddles the tandem, holding it steady. The stoker (person in the back, usually a smaller person), gets settled on the saddle, both feet on pedals, ready to go. The captain, then starts the bicycle as though he/she were riding a single bicycle (push pedal, raise self up into saddle, etc.).
I hate feeling wobbly and not in control, and this method left me feeling very much that way. But it works well for a lot of people.
2) We both clip in our left feet. We both sit on the saddle and balance the bicycle with our right feet. My husband calls, "Up" and we raise our left feet into position for the first pedal stroke. My husband calls "Go", and we push off. If I'm lucky, I can get the correct side of my right pedal, and if I do, I call "Got my pedal", if I don't I call "Missed my pedal". I wait a couple pedal strokes until he clips in, then we coast and I sort out my pedal if I've missed it. And we're off.
And once moving, he calls out bumps, turns, and most importantly, any time we need to coast. If either of us coasts without warning the other, that can hurt the other person ... it nearly throws me out of the saddle.
And calling out the turns ensures that we're both leaning the correct direction. If I'm sitting bolt upright on a turn, it is a fight to get the bicycle around the corner ... and if the corner is particularly sharp, we've both got to be leaning quite a bit. It is, apparently, like handling a motorcycle.0 -
